Easy Peasy tweaked to support wider range of netbooks – updated to version 1.5
Minor adjustments have been made in the interface and drivers of the Easy Peasy distro (based on Ubuntu 9.04) so that it should support wider range of netbooks. Developers of Easy Peasy have updated the kernel version to 2.6.30 which may give you even faster boot up times on the netbook.
Easy Peasy 1.5 is available for download from the Easy Peasy homepage.
Commentary: Yet another flavor of Ubuntu 9.04? Well, we would say better wait for the Ubuntu 9.10 which is supposed to out in few days. In the meantime, you won’t mind reading our EEEbuntu 3.0 review (which is the best Linux distro for netbooks)

Official Linux driver for Poulsbo Chipset
The Chipset US15W and the graphic chip accompanying it, GMA 500 perform pretty nicely under Windows 7 and Windows Vista, but they did not perform well under Linux (until now). If you are a guy that updates the repositories frequently in Ubuntu (v9.04), you will see a new package by the name of “poulsbo-driver-3D package”. Install it and restart your netbook. This will improve 2-D and 3-D capabilities of your netbook.
In case, for some reason, you are still unable to find it, I recommend you to visit the official repositories webpage and find “libdrm-poulsbo – 2.3.0-0ubuntu1~904um1″ package. From there, download the file “libdrm-poulsbo1_2.3.0-0ubuntu1~904um1_i386.deb” and run it on your Ubuntu-powered netbook.
Make sure you restart the computer to see the effects!

Want to try Android on your netbook or notebook? –Try Live Android
LiveAndroid is a special project where the developers are working diligently on porting Android OS to run on all x86 platform. Version 0.2 of LiveAndroid was released a few days back and it can be run on a netbook/notebook without actual installation. So, all you have to do is burn the ISO to a CD and you are done.
Want to give Google Android a try, but don’t feel like buying a T-Mobile G1? LiveAndroid lets you download a LiveCD disc image of the Google Android operating system. Just burn the image to a disc, stick it in a CD-ROM drive, and reboot your computer and you can check out Android without installing it or affecting any files on your PC.
If you have a peculiar affection for Android OS, you can give it a go. Although I still have not thought of buying an Android netbook in future, but by using Live Android, one can try out some of the features of Android OS without buying myself one.
